Sciatica Relief in Sun Prairie
Sciatica is lower back pain that radiates down the back of the leg to the knee or foot, caused by irritation to the sciatic nerve caused by lumbar or pelvic subluxations. It usually gets worse with periods of sitting or standing. Sciatica often affects pregnant women, those with diabetes, and people who are obese.
Typical Symptoms
- Hip pain
- A tingling or burning feeling down the leg
- Weakness, numbness, or a difficult time moving the leg or foot
- Continual pain that affects one side of the buttocks
- A shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to stand up
Our Natural Approach
Chiropractic adjustments with lumbar decompression and/or flexion-distraction techniques are effective in correcting the causes and relieving sciatic pain. We may also do some work to relieve the muscle tension in the hips and glutes caused by the lower back and pelvic misalignments that can lead to pain.
Can’t Get to Us Right Away?
Until you can get into the practice for relief, try some simple piriformis stretches (a seated figure 4 stretch works great), which can temporarily ease your discomfort.
